Romance scams won’t stop ’til we raise our voices together! Thanks to Donna for getting this important information out! The PodCast can be listened to at any time at http://bit.ly/2c0gTtu. Leave your comment so that people from main stream media can hear your voice!

It would be very helpful if you comment directly on the CBC post. It is imperative that people who understand this crime and the havoc these offenders cause, counter some of the ridiculous arguments people come up with to excuse the behavior. We have to reach them where they discuss the issue, not just here among ourselves. Preaching to the choir will not enlighten or change anyone’s opinion.
